HP Prime Bug: Convert lbf to N - snowflake - 09-15-2023 01:58 PM
Convert lbf to N uses 4.449221615 N / lbf instead of 4.448221615.
The third digit following the decimal should be 8 instead of 9.
Can this be corrected?

I see the same thing on my G2 with 2.1.14730 (2023-04-13).
The iOS emulator 2.1.14584 (2021 05 05) and the PC emulator 2.1.14730 (2023 04 13) have the correct value (4.44822161526_N).
Edit: I cross posted your findings in https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-1817.html

Thanks for the report! I’ve created a ticket for this in the bug tracker I’ve set up for the project.
I’ll message Prof. Parisse about this in a moment. Using Google to search for 4.44922161526 actually turns up a web page with an mksa value table for Xcas.
One workaround is to use the all caps “CONVERT” (instead of the lowercase “convert”).

A follow-up: the ticket on the bug tracker has been closed, the bug has been fixed.
(Thanks, Prof. Parisse! ) The change should be in effect with the next release.
